A member asked:

I had surgery on my knee one yr i have to wear a knee brace cause of instability had physical therapy 3 times in constant pain what about knee replace?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: What surgery was done? That info would help me to provide a more specific answer. Something is obviously wrong. Get the knee reevaluated and do not be afraid to get a 2nd opinion.
